Geographically, the site is located in Hameenlinna, between Helsinki and Tampere, close to international airports, and with more than 4 million people within a 1.5-hour drive - including a large pool of highly educated technical experts and engineers. The project was initiated by Northern Europe Energy Group ("NEEG") last year. Magnora holds a 70% ownership stake in the project through a joint venture (JV) with NEEG owning 30%. NEEG will be responsible for most of the operational development. Magnora contributes with strategic, industrial, and financial expertise, as well as the capability to advance the project in line with customer demand. The collaboration has strong support from the local municipality, aiming for an efficient permitting process that ensures local value creation and sustainable development. This is the third data center project/company Magnora enters within the last three months, in addition to Averoy (100 MW in development) and Storespeed (operational). Magnora continues its efforts to source and develop more projects in the data center space in the coming weeks and months.

New major risk - Revenue size The company makes less than US$1m in revenue. This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small amount of revenue are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach.

Magnora ASA Separates Its Legacy Business from Its Renewables Business Magnora ASA announced that on 18 January, the board approved a plan to establish a separate entity for Magnora's Legacy Business (that is the contracts linked to the Company's divested FPSO business). Technically, the separation combines a demerger followed by a merger to transfer the Company's Licensing Business to a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnora. This requires an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in Magnora. The Legacy Business is related to Magnora's historical business activities. In 2018, Magnora sold its formerly core business which included patents and related technology rights associated with the FPSO technology business. However, Magnora retained the right to use the technology under two existing agreements for two FPSOs, one of which was already in operation (the Western Isles FPSO) and the other soon to enter operations (The Penguins FPSO). Aligned with the stock exchange release dated 28 August 2023, and as a consequence of the corporate restructuring mentioned above, the Licensing Business will become a subsidiary. Following this restructuring, the Company intends to spin off the Legacy Business to its shareholders as a new listed company on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Irrespective of this, the strategic process continues. Aankondiging • Oct 26
